Somehow, we made it to Dagobah. Knowing that Maen couldn't use this Force without danger of detection (and even if she could, I'm not sure if it could be used to keep ships together), it can be considered a miracle that we got there in one piece.

Upon entering the atmosphere of... some planet (Dagobah was described as a system, so I don't think this planet is called Dagobah), I could see why C3PO was making a fuss about going there. There were trees as far as the eye could see, much like a rain-forest, there was a lot of fog that nearly blinded us, and underneath the trees was nothing but mud and swamps. I don't think I could survive a rain forest on my own planet, but this isn't even my planet, meaning that the dangers here may be far worse than anything I can imagine.

"So this is where the other Jedi's are?" the Doctor asked.

"Yes." Maen replied, "This is where my grand-uncle trained to be a Jedi. Vader isn't aware of this planet, so he thought it would be a good place to hide."

Not only that, I thought to myself, because I don't think even wanted criminals would want to hide here. And the authorities probably know that, so they wouldn't be looking here. But as soon as that thought crossed my mind, I wondered something else.

"If Vader is one with the Force, shouldn't he find out about this place anyway?" I asked.

"If it were one Jedi hiding here, yes." Maen explained, "But with so many here, we combine our powers to mask it. Vader would think of this as just a fluctuation in the force."

"Master Luke is over there." C3PO pointed out.

"Great." Maen spoke under her breath, "Prepare for lecture."

"Master Luke?" I asked.

"My grand-uncle." Maen replied.

I would have asked about family-trouble, but I figured that was blatantly obvious.

As soon as we landed, an old man came up to great us. Or so I thought.

"Maen..." he paused, "I thought I recognized your reckless flying as soon I sensed you enter the atmosphere."

"And nice to see you too, Uncle Luke." Maen replied.

"And what about these two?" the old man, Luke, questioned, "They don't look like Jedi to me. I thought I told you..."

"Can you please hear me out and then lecture me?" Maen interrupted, "I've got something you might want to hear."

"What, you got a pimple for the first time?" Luke asked sarcastically.

"Unless your physiology is different from mine, I think she's far past the point of first pimples." I remarked.

This seemed to confuse Luke. I guessed the idea of humans evolving elsewhere in the universe was new to him.

"What he meant was..." the Doctor helped me out, "... is that your grand-niece would not have come here if it wasn't important. And I can assure you, it is."

"Yeah?" Luke was still skeptic, "And who might you be?"

"I'm the Doctor."

"Doctor of what?" Luke asked.

"That's not important right now." the Doctor replied, "What is important is that you're all in great danger."

"Tell me something I don't know." Luke snapped back.

"You don't understand." the Doctor said, "I didn't mean just you Jedi, or the rest of the galaxy. But all of the universe, Vader, the Force,... everything."

This did get Luke's attention: "What do you mean?"

"Is there some place where we can sit quietly and discuss this?" the Doctor asked.

"We're fine out here." Luke said.

"Very well." the Doctor replied.

He explained to Luke what we knew. About how using too much of the Force was starting to have repercussions, how Darth Vader was tied to this, the whole nine yards.

When the Doctor was done, there was this look on Luke's face that I couldn't quite place.

"That... that's unbelievable." he said.

I would have made a remark, but thought it inappropriate to do so.

"After everything that happened..." Luke continued, "I can't... why would he do such a thing?"

The Doctor seemed to understand. I assumed he was thinking about the Emperor, but from the tone Luke was using, I got the impression he meant something else.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"Nothing!" he replied, "So what can we do?"

"You're using the force to mask this planet." the Doctor said, "Stop that."

"But then Vader will find us?" Luke countered the idea.

"Exactly." the Doctor replied.
